power consumption
Electricity draw rate
Power consumption is the amount of electrical energy used by a device, system, or process over time.
It measures how much power something draws to operate: The new refrigerator has lower power consumption than the old one.
In electronics and computing, power consumption often determines battery life, heat output, and energy costs.
Reducing power consumption is central to both environmental sustainability and device efficiency.
